Eric Clapton/1997 Nippon Budokan Performance Tokyo, Japan 10.27.1993 Complete S & V

A monumental achievement for EC collectors’ CDs! The 1997 Budokan performance is recorded from a new soundboard master! Moreover, the footage is also completely recorded, not just from audience shots taken by related parties! This is a perfect, flawless definitive edition! Finally, we have obtained the ultimate master tape of this day! The ultimate live album in the history of Japanese performances, newly dressed as a perfect version that has cleared all the shortcomings of the old title! The sound quality is so bad that it makes the old version sound bad. And the shortcomings of the old version are: several places in “Wonderful Tonight” become mono. There is a cut in the song “Groaning The Blues”. There is an edited part in the intro of “Layla”, where the same phrase was repeated. These are the three places. Many people may not have noticed. This new master has cleared that weak point without any problems, and the quality is truly worthy of being called definitive. This separation has such transparency and resolution that you can even see the phrases in the feedback. And the video of this day was obtained from the related parties along with the new master! ! The footage shot from the side of the Budokan stage is so precious that it’s surprising. I don’t know what the intention was, but this video was requested by Clapton himself, and this is the normal image quality for the equipment in 1993. The sound was also recorded on the soundboard from the beginning because it was shot by someone involved. It was not synchronized with the soundboard sound source later. It is truly a valuable archive. The show includes a rare set list consisting of half blues and half representative songs, as well as a live version of the Jimi Hendrix tribute number “Stone Free”! At the end, Clapton rubbed his guitar against the amp like Jimi Hendrix, causing feedback. This aggressiveness fills the entire stage. The long solo of “Layla” is amazing, and the burning “Ain’t Nobody Business” at the end is also amazing! Please enjoy this historic concert with the best soundboard. CD1 tk01….. MALTED MILK tk02…..
